Subject: (s7-19-03) DEMOCRACY TO CORPORATE BOARD ELECTIONS

Dear SEC,

As a citizen, I grow tired of the weekly revelations of corporate criminality 
at the expense of the average American. I want to see that the SEC really bring 
democracy to corporate board elections by removing the trigger events from the 
shareholder democracy proposal. Allowing the owners of the companies – the 
shareholders – to have an actual say in the membership of the corporate board 
of directors is one of the best ways to curb many of the insider excesses that 
have been taking place in corporate America. 

Thank you, 

Joseph Traugott
